Now that you've made the switch, have you tried talking to fundamentalist Christians about evolution? How do you meet them where they are, if they see peer-reviewed articles as Dr. Seuss-like? (In other words, a la Kuhn, are some paradigms incommensurable?)
I guess I'd take a 'Natural Theology' approach and frame the evolutionary process as an unfolding of God's plan, with complex biological adaptations as awesome examples of divine providence shaped over deep time. Something like that.
I honestly mean this respectfully. But the god-designed evolution concept seems like a fallback position taken after creationism was (some believe) countered by evidence of evolution
"God did it" doesn't specify how. Even the Biblical account of creation of life on earth indicates a passage of time to accomplish it, not an "I Dream of Jeannie" nose-twitch & blink. There's plenty of reason to believe creation "day" is metaphorical.
In a worldview that contains a ‘prime mover’, isn’t a creationist position preferable via the use of Occam’s razor?
If anyone would be curious to read an intelligent Christian biologist who argues (persuasively, in my opinion) along these lines, I would strongly recommend Denis Alexander's "Is There Purpose in Biology?"
